LoooSeR

DId they finished Zen part of HL? I played one of version of Black Mesa, it was what HL: Source should have been.

I would not call that filler as "composite" MUH T-14 STRNG TIED EDITION I don't think that T-80 -pattern rollers would be used on T-14. Note YaKB-like gatling HMG and 57 mm autocannon.

It is not all-steel, you can see "sand rod" insert in it pretty well.

BTW, this is one of many Ukrianian T-72s, moded with some modern staff. T-72 UMG

lol. Mi-17: Mi-35: Ka-50 with different modifications.

Interesting thing is that one captured T-72, was claimed to be T-72B3 because of Thales thermal imager. Problem with this claim is that Kharkov design burea also work with Thales and offer same thermal imagers. http://morozovkmdb.com/rus/body/addburan.php Cathrine is Thales produced thermal imager. AFAIK Ukraine have small number of T-72 with those things mounted on them for testing.

2A42 30 mm autocannon, that is mounted on many Soviet/Russian vehicles, have recoil of 5 tons. Yes, but this mean that you need some kind of RCWS, which are bulky and usualy block commander view.

I want to see it from inside, although IIRC T__A already posted photos with autoloading device from IS-7 turret. Just random pic:

Chinese Z-10 hely. http://mereja.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=50020 *trollface*

Mi-35 Iraqi Mi-35s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEnWF5EQIts Super Hind, from other angle. Look at those big exposed ammunition boxes.

1) Horses? Lada Prioras! 2) Export tanks are included, but i didn't counted Oplot tanks (their numbers are too low). Recent new bunch of tanks, given by Chocolate prince to VSU and different battalions of valunteers, nazis, others. T-64s and T-72s. T-64BV and BM Bulat. T-72AV T-72 UA1 for Ethiopia Yeah, T-72 UA1 is T-72 with T-64 engine. T-64A and T-64B, T-64B1, T-64BV, BM "Bulat" T-64B1M, T-64BM1M, T-72B, T-72AV, T-72UA1, T-84 Oplot and BM Oplot-M - 12 tanks in use by Ukriane currently, although how much T-84 and BM Oplot are in "use" is unknown for me.

Who is that Watters, and why collimatrix post was liked by some D.E. Watters?

I think i will need a whole another thread to cover Ukrainian non-tank armor projects, 'cause there are many. I am also happy to declare that Ukriane have 10 tank designs, accepted to service in VSU. This is a lot, i may add.

Wasn't this obvious? Althoug, they had a problem with whose patronymic would be given to a child. I agree that Caucasians are better at singing and cooking of meat. Other activities are not for Truetm Caucasians. [but Armenians are better anyway, Georgians are too stubborn and they did not created System of a Down ]

There are some problems with such placement of autocannons - their recoil can create a force, that can turn a turret by some degree, screwing up accuracy. Question about vulnerability to artillery shells fragments, small arms fire, collisions with terrain are also serious for externally mounted weapons.

To add to confusion - i am Armenian-Georgian.

That is one possibility. But in Russian army 30 mm shells are not hard to find either - BMP-2s and 3s, BTRs-80As/82s, MI-28s, Ka-52s, all use 30 mm rounds. Maybe thats why T-14 could be designed with 30 mm additional cannon.

23 mm sniper cannon, used by AFAIK Chalifate. Video of it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC8CTVevijk

Actions of other countries during 1918-1922 Russian Civil War does not make it something else than Russian Civil War. I was watching for situation in Ukraine and Eastern Ukraine pretty close using direct sources instead of media pre-made opinions that they spew around (thanks to understanding of Ukrainian and knowing Russian) and Ukraine had almost all civil war preconditions - current conflict between Eastern Ukraine and Western is not new, it moved from political field to military after several huge events, coup in Feb 22, Odessa massacre, 4-6 ministers seats filled with neo-Nazi/russophobes/racist far right activists, 7 attempts to ban Russian language by Rada, May 9/Victory Day National guards attack on Police in Mariupol with a lot of killed and injured protesters, etc. etc. Those events were sparks that created rebelion in the East, with center in Slavyansk. You can watch Vise news reports about early stages of that conflict, when new Ukrainian authorities were sending troops to Eastern part of Ukraine, and how they were met by crowds of locals. A lot of Ukrainian officers and soldiers changed their sides during initial stage of conflict. http://armamentresearch.com/Uploads/Research%20Report%20No.%203%20-%20Raising%20Red%20Flags.pdf This is not so bad attempt to research question of Russia giving weapons to rebels (pro-Russian is wrong term, BTW). Apart from several mistakes in tank section, part about VSS, and launchers, it is pretty well done compared to other PR crap. Western medias view that rebelion is controlled by Russian SF or Putin is simply stupid. Amount of stupid actions and errors, mistakes and crucial miscalculation, done by rebels, is huge, and painfull. If you want to separate from country you should start ot create your own state, which rebels started to do only 3-4 months after initial protests in March-May of this year. Rebels are still not united - a lot of separated groups of different rebels are presented there, but without central controlling structure or leader. Kozitsyn's cossaks, Khodakovskiy Vostok battalion (first battles of which were total failures with huge losses in manpower), Motorola "Sparta" unit, Givi's team, Mosgovoy's units, "Odessa's" team, groups of national-bolsheviks, anti-Putin activists, Limonov's gang, Ossetians, Chechens, French volunteers, Serbian Chetniks, etc. etc. are now trying to form united Armed forces of Novorosiya, with second meating of those forces leaders in December of 10. Logistical support is pretty bad on rebels side, same for medical support. Level of combat training o rebels is not very high, appart from some people with military backgrounds. From the start of Civil war Ukrianinian authorities claimed (officialy) something like 40 Russian invasions with 2000-2500 vehicles in total used in them (all of which Ukriane destroyed), 1 nuclear strike at Donetsk airport according to Heletey's briefing (Minister of Defence), 3 FSB-made protests at Maidan (yeah, i am serious, ask their Minister of Internal affairs why he claimed this on TV), and other smaller events. Results of "40 Russian invasions" and "1 nuclear strike" are: - Rebels lost Slavyansk, Kramatorsk and villages around them; - 3-4 months of battle for Donetsk airport without actually capturing it with one of rebel commander noting that they don't have tank crews good enough to fight in airport, which leave rebels without close fire support, which is main reason why they can't smash that VSU unit in Donetsk airport; - Huge damage to infrastrucutre, houses, electric networks, sewerage systems; - Huge damage to Eastern Ukraine economy; - Several big industrial companies fled Ukriane completely; - Several irreparable big mines flooded with water; - Rebels, after summer battles, now use artillery and mortars as their primary weapon simply because of high number of thermal imagers and NV systems in Ukrianian forces units, rebels have problems with closing in to Ukriane units without being bombarded; - General situation is stagnant - nor rebels nor VSU have upper hand; Only 2 real victory of rebels were South Cauldron (wich was done by mortats and artillery) and Illovaysk. Ukrianian reports and documents about Ukrainian forces defeat at Illovaysk were assigned level of secrecy "for internal use only" with Heletey claiming that all those, who ask for them to be published are Putin agents, i think that he just try to concela huge level of incompetence of Ukr. forces high command. Economical situation for Donbas region is not good, there is serious problems with food (24 deaths from hunger documented in November in Donetsk alone). Ukrainian forces now receive better equipment. Currently Rebels and Ukrainian military are trying to talk with each other on person-to-person basis with recent TV-Skype "bridges" between rebels commanders and their soldiers (Mozgovoy for example did such things several times) with Ukrainian soldiers and commanders. Rebels have different views on Eastern Ukraine future - and currently biggest idea between them is to be part of Ukriane but only as a autonomous Republic. I am really sick of all this, i understand when in T110 thread members are ruinning around and screaming about Russian Invasions of Ukriane and Putin being Bond movie vilian, about rebels having better equipment than Ukriane, about that there is no Neo-Nazis in Ukrainian forces, etc. etc. I expect that at least in this forum people are less affect by current PR group think. I simply don't see any actions that would show that something is really done in Ukriane by Russia. What i see is 2 forces, lead by incompetent people, clashing with each other without accomplishing anything serious, while leaving part of Ukraine in ruins. Ukrainian soldiers: Rebels SPETSNAZ GRU AND PUTIN GUARDS THAT ARE BETTER ARMED THAN UKRIANIAN FORCES! PTRS AND PTRD RIFLES ARE NEWEST RUSSIAN HIGH TECH RIFLES OF WESTERNERS DOOM! Not bad Youtube channel with Eng subs (form rebels side). http://www.youtube.com/user/wintersodomy/videos http://youtu.be/cFOFn8xTJyY

Tank need to carry a lot of MG rounds simply because tankers use them much more, and i think reason for this is low effectiveness of MGs against infantry in cover. Especially in urban combat, 20-30 mm autocannons would have much better perfomance in those situation, which can decrease amount of 20-30 mm caliber ammo that tank need to carry. In fact T-14 model was showing some kind of autocannon, mounted on turret, which is indication of designers and army view on how next Russian MBT should be armed.

Yeah, indeed. Sorry for not posting about Ukrainian MBT performance in civil war, i am little bit too busy currently.

Why not both? Uncle Shipunov would have been happy.

For some our experts it seems that Obama is trying to not get involved too much in outside problems, but he can't really stop all this huge amount of politicians, who want to continue old Bush/neocons politic.

Russian intellectuals were trolling political leaders from Tsarists times, we even have a statue that was made specifically to troll Emperor, which he approved by himself, lol.
